Nov. 19 – On this day in Montana
history in 1883 the Livingston Daily Enterprise ran together a variety of news
tidbits that give insights into how communities grew. A 1,200 foot “shed” was
being built at the west end of the Mullan tunnel. The United States Geological
surveying party that had been working out of Livingston “has disbanded and gone
east.” Basinski Bros. had put up 2,000
head of sheep on their range at Tongue River. And a “runaway team attached to a
load of wood made a lively scene on Main street this morning, but fortunately
did no damage except to the outfit.”
